An even more intriguing possibility  perhaps the reviewers demanded Marcott add the hockey stick, as a requirement for their approval.
Marcott obviously knew the hockey stick was bogus  otherwise he would have added it to his PHD thesis paper.

In real climate science, the problem with hockey sticks is they are not there.
But no hockey stick = no funding = have to get a real job.
Hence, in todays climate science the hockey sticks are there.
The climate audit article is truly damning, but its climate science, so no one should be surprised.
